Simplehuman CW1814 Rectangular Fingerprint-Proof Step-On Waste Can, Stainless

This is a great trash can. It hold allot more than my old 13 gallon can.

The foot pedal is nice and big to open the top easily. The top closes quietly.

So far, no problems.

I love everything about this can. I would recommend getting the matching trash bags because off-brands are hard to install in this can.

I ordered the 13 gallon waste can and received the 10 gallon waste can for the cost of the 13 gallon can. No one called in advance to say what they were shipping. I called their contact number and was told that they do not sell the 13 gallon can even though it was advertised on Amazon. At that point, I was offered a rebate which would have had the can still cost more than if I had ordered a 10 gallon can. When I pointed out that fact, they offered the larger rebate. Then it became a take the rebate or send the can back. If I sent it back, they said they would reimburse me for the cost I initially paid for the can but never discussed paying for my initial shipping costs or to have it shipped back. In the end, I kept the can as the less expensive of the two options as I would have to buy a can from another vendor. But I am not sure if this was a bait and switch or an honest mistake. I am not inclined to use their services again.

We've had this can for over two years with no issues at all. (We have teenagers, so average about one and a half full trash bag a day.) Very sturdy, very easy to keep clean, takes up the least space for the amount of trash it holds. Nothing has bent or broken.

We use Hefty Ultraflex tall kitchen bags. The drawstring is just the right circumference to stretch around the top rim, holding the bag in place regardless of what we toss in. No rubberbands required. (The Glad-brand bags don't have quite as much stretch, so the drawstring would occasionally break.)

When our former kitchen trashcan broke, we decided to splurge and get a nicer can, especially one that would match our new refrigerator. This one seemed to fit the bill. The fingerprint proof finish is as they say, and the action on the lid is quiet and smooth. The only less than positive thing to say about it is that if you have an overhang on your countertop, and most people do, the lid will smack the overhang if you are a little overzealous with the footpedal. We have addressed that issue twofold: both stepping on the footpedal more gently, and putting a couple of felt color-matched sticky pads to lessen the "bang" that inevitably happened. Otherwise, the can is great, and while the bags (three) that they supply with the can are wonderful, our normal 13-gallon, white kitchen trash bags work just fine. We recommend wholeheartedly!
